The preserved remains of ancient organisms are called ______.
______and ______helped scientists to realize that Erath is million of years old and that the same processes that shapes Earth now shaped and changed it in the past.
______is the concept that members of a species compete for food, living space, and other necessities.
Each living thing has descended with changes is called ______.
______means that all species (living and extinct) were derived from common ancestors.
